Zhen'er stood in front of Fengle Building, her cherry lips opened slightly, and her two glass-like eyes were full of colorful and flamboyant colors.
She never imagined that a restaurant could be so luxuriously decorated, with five buildings, each three stories high, each with a flybridge railing, and light and shade.
Between the beaded curtains embroidered on the forehead, the lights and candles are shining, and there are even red lanterns strung in two rows on the corridor, which is festive.
Zhen'er looked at the flow of people inside and outside the door, and unconsciously followed in, inside the building, there were as many as fifty or sixty people serving the guests, they wore uniform clothes, and shuttled among hundreds of wooden tables.
Zhen'er stared at the plate on the little second-hand, her nose wrinkled slightly, sniffed a few times, and swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in her mouth for a long time.
"Suckling lamb, goose and duck steak steamed lychee kidney, roasted cheeks, lotus duck sticks, stone belly soup, fake roasted roe deer, fried quail, fried lungs, fried crabs" She counted the delicately carved plates one by one, and at the end, a long and tortuous bowel sound sounded in her abdomen and the occasion.
"Girl, shall I find you a seat?
There is still a vacant seat on the third floor, by the window, cool, sitting there, you can see the beautiful scenery of the whole Bianliang City.
Seeing that she was dressed decently, and standing still in a daze, a little second acquaintance came forward.
Zhen'er smiled at him embarrassedly, "I didn't bring any silver." ” Xiao Er's face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant, and he pointed to the door, "Girl, there are a lot of people here, and it's boring, you can stay at the door, it's cool there, and we are walking around, in case one of us is not careful, it will not be good to bump into you." ” For the first time in her life, Zhen'er was ordered to be evicted, her face turned red, she laughed twice, and walked out of Fengle Building in a hurry.
She looked at the lively and prosperous street in front of her, it is the main road in the center of Bianliang City, called Yujie, about 200 steps wide, on both sides are full of wine shops, tile shops, brothels, tea shops, inns and other places for recreation, as well as ginger shops, yarn shops, pigs, cattle and horses, fruit shops, fish shops, rice shops, meat shops, cloth shops, medicine shops, gold and silver shops, color silk shops, dyeing shops, bead shops, incense medicine shops, boots shops and other more than 30 shops.
The Fengle Building that Zhen'er had just entered was just one of the liquor shops on Yujie, and she was still smacking her tongue at its huge scale and exquisite architecture, but now she looked at it and found that the houses in front of her were majestic, the façade was vast, and there were countless places like Fengle Building.
The crowd was wuyang, and the sound of bargaining, noise, and laughter shuttled between people and buildings, which dazzled her for a while, and she didn't know where to stop her gaze.
On the right side of the royal street, is the Bianhe River that passes through the city from east to west, the Bianhe River flows east to Sizhou, and joins the Huai River, which is the lifeline of Bianliang to build the capital, and is also the main river channel for the transportation of materials in the southeast.
Along the Bianhe River, boats and merchants come and go in an endless stream, and the royal street near the river naturally forms a large number of trading places, and it is also the most prosperous street in Bianliang City.
On the bank of the river, there are dozens of colorful boats, and not far away, there are several dragon boats, looming in the thin mist, like Penglai Wonderland.
Zhen'er sighed lightly, "It turns out that I live in such a prosperous place, but unfortunately, when I was sixteen years old, I saw it for the first time." ” She was in a happy mood, her eyes were full of Liu Mo flowers and dazzling gold, and she forgot about her hunger for a while, and walked forward along the royal street.
"This girl, look at the fragrant powder rouge, it is all made of natural petals, a beautiful woman like the girl, if you use my gouache again, it is really 'hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant'."
Zhen'er covered her mouth and smiled, thinking that it was not easy for this vendor to sell incense powder, in order to sell a few more money, he had to learn a few poems, but he really found the wrong person, and what she Duan Zhen'er lacked the most was nothing more than incense powder rouge.
The incense powder shop of the Duan family is called Yuchunlin, it is the largest incense powder shop in the country, the stores are all over the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there are more than 100 of them, and the incense powder produced by Yuchunlin is also designated as a tribute by the imperial court, it is a must-have for celebrities and businessmen, especially in recent years, the incense pieces produced by Yuchunlin have even become a symbol of the identity of celebrities.
Zhen'er just wanted to refuse him, but the old lady selling dried meat next to her took the first step to extinguish the peddler's enthusiasm for her, "This girl is twenty-eight years old, and she is born with a fairy and jade appearance, and your fragrant powder and rouge are piled up on her face, but they cover her posture, isn't it a snake painting." ” The peddler was speechless by what she said, and retreated abruptly, Zhen'er giggled and passed past him, took two steps, but her feet staggered, and she saw two familiar figures squeezing through the bustling crowd, poking their heads out and looking anxiously from side to side, obviously looking for someone.
She hurriedly turned around in a panic, turned to the right and flashed into an alley, her body pressed against the cold wall, and she didn't dare to take any more breaths.
The person who came was none other than the Wang housekeeper of the Duan Mansion and the courtyard worker Li Shen, and what the two of them were looking for was of course her, the third lady of the Duan Mansion who sneaked out early in the morning.
Now, they had walked to a position parallel to the alley where Duan Zhen'er was hiding, but they stood there without more than one step and no less without moving, although the two of them did not look at this side, the voice clearly reached Zhen'er's ears.
"Since the eldest lady and the second lady are gone, the master has never let the third lady out of the house, this Bianliang City is so big, she is a girl who has just turned sixteen, where can she run."
"According to me, this is the master's, this child, the more you look closely, the more wild her heart is, I see that the third lady has not even had a friend over the years, she is always depressed, I feel that she is pitiful, and the master can't tie her for a lifetime, why bother."
"The second lady died so miserably, it didn't take long for the eldest lady to die, and two daughters died one after another, and whoever was put there was afraid, and the lord had no choice but to do it, alas."
Steward Wang sighed, but his eyes glanced towards the mouth of the alley, he was unintentional, but Zhen'er was startled by him, she slowly shrank down, and when Steward Wang's eyes moved elsewhere, she was still apprehensive in her heart, and walked down this cramped alley towards the inside.
The alley is between the two buildings, narrow and deep, the walls are not straight, and the deeper you go, the narrower it becomes.
Duan Zhen'er looked inside and found that there was only a little glimmer left at the end, so she was very doubtful that she could pass through to the opposite side from here, but the two people outside the alley had not left yet, and she would never be able to return to the royal street now, so she had to walk inside, hoping that her thin and incomplete body bones could walk through the cracks in the wall.
